Update: I was unfortunately not aware of Shamus Young's severe criticism of Fallout 3 available here to link in the original piece and I regret that. It dovetails rather nicely with what I've written and it's much better executed than my piece. I strongly recommend anyone...

For the first time, gamers play as the Predator
on next-gen console systems in upcoming 3rd person action/adventure
videogame

LOS ANGELES , CA ( May 7, 2004 ) – One of the most renowned anti-heroes
of the past two decades is coming to next-generation console systems.
Vivendi Universal Games today announced that Predator ™ :
Concrete Jungle is currently in development by Eurocom Entertainment
Software for the PlayStation ® 2 computer entertainment system
and the Xbox ® video game system from Microsoft. Slated for a Q4
2004 launch, the new 3 rd person action/adventure game weaves the past
with the future, as gamers become the terrifying Predator, hunting
the Earth for criminals using superhuman powers, fantastic vision modes
and an impressive array of alien weaponry.

"Built on the legacy of the fearsome film franchise, Predator:
Concrete Jungle features a thrilling story that showcases quality
gameplay with the signature abilities and weapons of the Predator
in new futuristic settings," said Michael Pole, EVP of Worldwide
Studios, Vivendi Universal Games.

Gamers will hunt down their prey in an urban killing zone as they
take on the legendary role of the Predator. In Predator: Concrete
Jungle , the gripping tale of the fearsome alien's history on
Earth unfolds between two separate time periods, first the 1930s and
then in the 2030s, as the Predator embarks on a mission of revenge
upon a organized crime empire and its leader who seeks to conquer all
Predators. Taking inspiration from the popular film franchise, the
game allows players to roam the city landscape, stalking human prey
while armed to the teeth with hunt-adapted vision modes, cloaking technology
and extraterrestrial weapons of annihilation.
